Thank you. We endeavour to respond appropriately to email in a
reasonable time-frame.

Emailing list

If you would like to receive an occasional email flagging-up
newly added railtour information, please write to us as above; we would
be pleased to add you to our emailing list.

The emailing list is operated via Google
Groups as it became rather large for traditional email-servers to
cope with. However it is still operated as an emailing list. It is no
longer (March 2018) possible for users to add themselves to the list via
Google Groups, as doing so was resulting in non-delivery of emails unless
we intervened: please email us with your request instead.

While we do also operate a postal mailing list, this costs us a
considerable amount of time and money; so we urge you to partake of the
emailing list instead—you receive the same information plus timely
updates, and it reduces our bills and the workload for our
volunteers.

As an alternative to the emailing list, you could instead receive
notifications of new material by following us on Twitter: @HastingsDiesels.

Submissions

Any photograph or other material sent to us is deemed to be a
submission unless marked “not for publication”. By making a submission
you retain the copyright of the material but hereby permit us to use it
or a modified form on this website and/or on our Twitter feed and/or in
promotional materials.

When you contact us asking to be kept informed of future HDL
railtours, or in connection with such activities

By “personal data” we mean any or all of your: title, initials, name,
email address, postal address, telephone number, shareholder number, and
occasionally brief supplementary notes that assist us in the proper
processing of the above actvities (e.g. “Usually sits with Mr Bloggs”,
“Hard of hearing, do not telephone”).

Your personal data are stored securely in electronic form, and are
used only for the purposes described above; they are shared via SSL
transfer with other key HDL staff who need them to carry out their
duties. They may be shared with our partner companies only in the
legitimate discharge of our activities, e.g. Google Groups by which the
emailing list is operated; or when at some time in the future we begin
accepting online payments via a third party payment processing service.
They will never be otherwise shared or sold.

We endeavour to keep our records up to date. Please email or write to
us with any changes that you wish us to record.
